Kandal Cross Shrine - Catholic church in Ooty - The Nilgiris, India

Good Place to visit this Church in Ooty and get God's blessing in your prayers.

A nice shrine to visit in Ooty. May 3rd is the huge festival. Fame name is 'kurusadi". A long way of cross in lent days usually held on Sunday before the easter is very famous. It is alike the way of cross of manapad @ tuticorin ( Tamilnadu). The walk is around 6 km . It starts from Sacret heart church Ooty to kurusadi with parish people. It is really divine to see the real crosses. All vehicles go to the shrine any days except the festival seasons.... Pros Good place to meditate Nature covered area Public Transport available up to kaandhal. Hiring vehicles available at kaandhla to kurusadi. Cons No shops are available around church premises.

The Google map took us to the point where we had to walk atleast a km to reach the church through narrow and absolutely dirty way. There is a waste water treatment plant also on they way. Finally we reached the church and was surprised to see cars parked in the premises of the church. We were informed by a visitor that there is a motorable road from another side. Told the driver to take that route when he came to pick us up. When we visited, the church was undergoing renovation. The church wad open from the sides. It is a beautiful church, indeed.

It's a Holy shrine , where people from various religion will come to pray . Once you r inside the Holy church you yourself can feel the positive vibrations. So silent. Abundant parking . Surrounded by many trees and Nature looks great over there . May 3rd is a special day which is considered as annual feast of the shine . Though little far away from Ooty , it is worth visiting. Especially for the believers.

This Shrine is a must visit. Its popularly known as Kurusadi. It has the sacred piece of Jesus Christ cross. It's located bit interior and the way Google map shown was wrong , we just reached here with the help of local people suggesting the way. The church administration or the Ooty municipality must have some sign boards or hoardings to make it easy for the people. It has parking area too. We were able to see two dark monkeys near the church gate, which made my daughter amused. The church is near to Ooty lake.

Calm atmosphere, vintage church well maintained ..

This is a Holy place where the relic of the actual Holy Cross is placed and is worshipped. Please visit this place in faith and belief and your prayers will definitely be answered. Jesus Christ Bless You All!
